Melania Trump began the day wearing all black

Melania Trump used the time it took for Air Force One to get from Maryland to Florida to execute her wardrobe change. She began the day wearing a somber, all-black outfit that was elegant and classy, but also managed to turn heads. The look caught the eye of one fashion critic at the New York Times, who took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the ensemble. Vanessa Friedman tweeted, “Fittingly, Melania Trump departs her role as first lady of the United States in all black and her favorite brands — not a single American name among them: Jacket by Chanel; dress by Dolce & Gabbana; shoes by Christian Louboutin.” And while Friedman offered no public comment as to Melania’s arrival outfit, we can surmise she would have probably responded in a similar fashion regarding the Italian Gucci caftan and the French Vivier flats Melania was sporting.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, by the time she got to Florida, Melania at least looked happier — waving to the crowds as she left Air Force One, with her life as first lady behind her.

Here’s How The Trumps Looked As Soon As They Got To Florida
